...Basic to Verwoerd's policies is the argument that black Africans cannot govern themselves, much less the whites. It is an argument that most white South Africans are more than ready to believe. Every time there is a crisis in the Congo or bloodshed in Nigeria, the whites nod knowingly and tell each other that "you can't expect anything else from the bloody kaffirs." Kwame Nkrumah's tyrannical rule over Ghana was hailed as proof that Africans were still too uncivilized to run their own affairs, but when he was overthrown, the military coup was cited...
...with latent virility, and Nanette Newman, a delectable Victorian miss sustained largely by fantasies about the 300 helpless girls molested each year in London. He, confronted by the fleshly reality of The Girl He Worships from Afar, is moved to confess: "I have often had a burning desire to nod." She, overcome by a rippling tendon in his forearm, is propelled into a swoony slow-motion ballet of plainly requitable passion...

...addled police officer, Ben Blue as an irrelevant drunk, and Paul Ford as a sword-swinging Legionnaire are the chief offenders, since their familiar broad comedy bits beget feeble satire of Birchite fear and hysteria. This seasonable breach of security is well worth the risks, though, and an obligatory nod to young love turns out surprisingly well, mostly because John Phillip Law, as a tense Russian sailor, and blonde Movie Newcomer Andrea Dromm, as an amiable babysitter, make coexistence look like their own idea...
